During the past ten days the county chiin gang haa made very little progress macadamizing the public roal between the home of Mr. Chns. Hrahuin and the store of Mr. W. E. dritfin, in 1 his township, owing to tie prevalence of grippe among the convicts. It was stated Saturday morning that more than half the convicts were unable to work last veek. A correspondent writing to The Times abo*t prohibition says: "Legal prohibition is a theory and not a condition. Theoretically it is all light, but as a condition it in a failure, and has never 'existed anywhere in any country where men of Adam's race do con^re^ate. Kansas wis held up to us in the last State campaign as one of the l^odlieat countries, whose prohibition hud done its perfect work. We were told that they used their jails there to storo corn in instead of criminals. 1 have been ; ' "K recently bow Mrs. 'arrie Nation could tiud ho many saloons to hiiihhIi.

Next mornimr the quests of Mr. White, after j^ettino ready to eontitiue their journey, awaited the ]'residential party. I'pon the arrival of the latter, it was proposed to hold a eabinet meeting. The doors of the \\ hite mansion were thrown open and the distinguished party invited to enter, but the day beinu; warm it was decided to hold the meeting in the shade ?fstately trees in the yard. Here Mr. Trenliolin tended his resignation on aecount of ill health. His resignation was accented. and (Ion I.'. m gaii was appointed to (ill the vacancy. At the cabinet meeting President Davis seemed to I>i* equable ami composed. Me had spoken int'liarlotto, ami hoped soon to have a more formidable army. I'ut Mr. Breckinridge was not so sanguine.

Consequently the Presidential purty was forced to ford the river. Then Mr. Trenholm took the river road toward Columbia, while the others went southwesterly by Abbeville.

Kditor 'fimes: It is a matter of no surprise to me and many other meii in South Carolina to learn that John L. McLaurin has landed in the Uemihlb-n 11 !??? (? -I .. 1 1 ?y jowl with Mark Huntm. It is now ancient history, but *01110 <>f us still remember how a certain journal in York county of ohl time Republican bins threw ilirtv llin^s at this writer, Dr. Strait ami other men of independent thought in York county and t he Fifth ( 'on^iessional district for opposing Mr Lauriii's nomination for 1'nited States Senator. Some of us know Johnnie, knew his antecedents, knew him as a political trickster, and had lost all confidence in his honesty and reliability. 1 am not at all disappointed in him, and lie occupies the same position in my estimation that lie did then, and lias done exactly what I txpeeled him to do. When Dr. Strait charged him at Yorkville with disloyalty to the Democratic party and his preposition to Talbert, Strait and Jaitimer to cjo over to the l'opulist party, he denied it,and to the everlasting shaino of his henchmen they howh d Strait down. When i.? SU W TIIUT I llOl'e Wits M COllHpiruey to prevent free apeeeh his reply was,"You can howl niedown here, luit I won't bo howled down tomorrow in Lancaster, and I will prove what I say."' The contern platioii of the Lancaster meeting mid his own guilty conscience, caused a sudden rush of hlnod to .MoLaurin's head arid he fainted mid went no moie into the campaign, and why? 1'eeause lie had ei^- e.ly i noinrll to M O ih. t ho must do something to be^et sympathy. for lie knew there were others Inyiun for liim besides Dr. Stiiiii.uml it was a very smart trick to feinn a bad ease of sickness and Hot out of the eanip iinii- A smart political coon like -Johnnie will always survive such a case of sickness as he took at that time. Our present Connressman lent all I;;-' influence to MeLnurin. and that accounts for the larne vote he not in Voik county. Besides, lie had The State newspaper at Columbia and nearly all the county papers in the Fifth district, to. netlur with the whole Slat.- admiuistratioii. to boost him. And 1 don't suppose there ever was a politician in South Carolina who so successfully threw sand in the eyes of tin- people as did MeLausin. When t lie Senatorial hee henna to bu/.'/. ill li s bonnet (Jen lorln died iitnl gave Flh rhet lie opport uniiy to make anient political I>1 u 1 rder I?y appointing him to till Marie's place. Then lie was 110:11itiated in the primary which folfowed. And it is the tirst time in tin- history of the Stale that a man so highly honored and Pasted hy the people lias opci:l\ am. shamefully let rayed them and trampled honor and loyalty to the principles of South Carolina Democracy beneath his feet as a tilt hy rug. No man except one from whose bosom has tied all the elements of true manhood and every principle of honor, could or would betray his party and pt ople as John 11.
